About Us

Farmhouse Nashville was born out of necessity. As a mother of four young children, I desired to feed my family nourishing food, healing food, local food and affordable food. I was disheartened at the prices of organic and was determined not to feed my family food that was from factory farms and laden with chemicals, pesticides and shipped in from thousands of miles away! Was that even possible? 

Eighteen years ago I joined a raw milk co-op in West Nashville. It was a step in the right direction.  Our raw milk farmer was an Old Order Mennonite farmer. We were thrilled to have found a source for affordable, clean, healthy milk. Finding organic produce in this same community was a lot harder than I envisioned. 

It is a myth that Amish and Mennonite farmers are organic. Only two farmers in this community were growing organically. After months of searching, I discovered Golden Rule farm growing against the "grain" of the community. They were convinced and convicted that organic farming was the only way to grow nourishing, flavorful foods that would heal not only our bodies, but the land. Our partnership was only the  beginning of this story. We started offering CSA shares to friends and  family in Lebanon, then Mount Juliet and today, we serve hundreds of families in Middle Tennessee. 

Ten years ago, my family and I purchased a farm in Smith county and begin growing and raising food along side our partnering farm, Golden Rule, for the CSA.  We have now moved to Rutherford county and purchased a small farm where we are not only growing food, but we have opened a local Farm Store for our neighbors and community.  Our Farm Store is only open on Saturdays from 10AM-2PM from May - October.  We offer seasonal produce and grass-fed meats as available. We are excited about the future!

Our commitment to nutrient-dense produce, pasture raised eggs and meats is undeniable. We work together to offer food that is not only healthier but affordable for families. We believe  that foods grown organically are naturally best, but we also know that foods raised without the use of pesticides, chemicals and herbicides are healing the land. We use trace minerals and nutrients to enrich the soil. Organic is good, but nutrient-dense is better! Come share in the  harvest and see and taste the difference of Fresh, Local, Real Food! 

Farmhouse Nashville was born out of the desire of a mother to feed her young children the best food she could find and afford.  Now,15 years later, Farmhouse Nashville has grown into not only a family business but a vehicle to help feed hundreds of families in Middle TN.  You will see Stephanie delivering farm shares on Tuesdays and Thursdays and she normally has several of her children helping.  Farmhouse Nashville now has a local farm in North Rutherford county where Stephanie and her family will be farming.  Come visit their Farm Stand on Saturdays from 10 AM- 2PM starting in May.
